The fate of the Gen V spinoff series has seemingly been revealed ahead of The Boys season 5. During a panel at Emerald City Comic Con, Laz Alonso, who plays Mother's Milk in the main series, shared that after The Boys season 5, "You got Gen V and then Vought Rising which are the two shows that gonna probably continue the legacy as we finish our chapter in storytelling." This suggests that Gen V will return for a third season, even as the original The Boys series concludes its run.

Why it matters

The Boys has become a hugely popular and acclaimed superhero satire, and the spinoff Gen V has also received positive reviews. Continuing the Gen V storyline after The Boys ends could help expand the franchise's universe and keep fans engaged, though there are concerns about superhero fatigue setting in.

The details

In Gen V seasons 1 and 2, the story centered on Marie Moreau and her college peers being impacted by the corrupt agenda of Homelander and Vought. With Homelander and Vought presumably defeated in The Boys season 5, the world and Godolkin University will likely look quite different for Marie and her friends in a potential Gen V season 3. While the spinoffs have potential, there are worries that the franchise could become too close to parodying Marvel, DC, and superhero fatigue in general.

  • The Boys season 5 premieres on April 8, 2026 on Prime Video.
  • Gen V season 2 ended with Marie Moreau and her friends being recruited by Annie January and A-Train as the revolution against Homelander grows.

What they’re saying

“You got Gen V and then Vought Rising which are the two shows that gonna probably continue the legacy as we finish our chapter in storytelling.”

— Laz Alonso, Actor (Popverse)

What’s next

The Boys season 5 will premiere on April 8, 2026, which is expected to conclude the main series' story. If Laz Alonso's comments prove accurate, Gen V will likely continue with a third season after that, exploring how the world and Godolkin University have changed in the wake of the events of The Boys.

The takeaway

The expansion of The Boys universe through spinoffs like Gen V has the potential to keep fans engaged, but there are concerns about the franchise potentially becoming too close to parodying superhero fatigue. The success of Gen V so far suggests the spinoff can avoid this pitfall, but maintaining that balance will be crucial as the story continues.
